the great 1our-mill king, of Canada, who says he
discussed commercial union and the fisheries
question fully with Senator Sherman, and that the
latter assured him the fisheries question was but
terest TO few people in Massachusetts, and Maine
only. Citizens generally OF the United States took
little or no interest in the question. Mr.. Sherman
further stated says Mr.. Og1lvie, that he regarded
the action OF the dominion government upon the

tremely moderate. He said the dominion was

sACHUsRTTs VENUE EXTENSION.
Capt. Phythian, the superintendent Of the Naval
Observatory, has recently returned from New
York, where he went to look over the plans for
the new Observatory, which are being prepared
by MIR. Richard NJ. Hunt, the architect. The plans,
he says, will be completed by the 1st OF october,
and at that time the proposals for contracts Will
be made. Between thirty and forty days will be
necessary to let the contracts and the founda-
tions will then be begun II the weather is favor
able.
THE ARCHITECTURE.
Capt. Phythian says that the style Of the build
ing will be severe and imposing, Of characteristic
1t Is when seen from O distance and not be mis-
taKen Ior country villa. 1t Will be situated so as
to be seen plainly from that part OF the city
the Capitol and will look well from various points
the main building, where viii be library and orces,
ana Will De built less eXpenSively, as cheaper ma
terial Is best for the purposes OF this building,
Wlthn which 1t Is desirable to have the atmoS-
main building will be massive, with impressive
exterior and elegant internal finish.
MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE EXTENSION.
Speaking OF the Massachusetts, avenue extension
interfering with the observatory, Capt. Phythian
said, that to have the avenue 60 where the Com
missioners proposed would greatly endanger the
observatory, and that he had no idea that they
would ever be permitted to make the extension in
that way.
The District Commissioners had unofficially sug.
gested that they might make a curve in the line
OF tne avenue so as to take 1t 900 feet away but
tory at point not considered desirable by the OBJ
ServatOry officials But he thought II they could
make that curve they could easily make a wider
one SO as not to interfere with the observatory.
